My Life-Partner Poem by Dr John Celes

A flower-bud had bloomed one day,
Into a pretty flow’r;
Her beauty was immense, all say;
She longed for her lover.

Upon the plant, she was the best,
Attractive to the core;
She looked so gorgeous, Nature-blest;
With dew of dawn, still more.

She stayed for years and grew with grace;
A bee was heaven’s choice;
To him, she wore a smiling face,
Perfuming, in good poise.

He took her nectar with much joy,
And planted kisses fine;
Embracing her so fondly, ‘boy! ’
He sang her songs divine!

They shared their stories with great love;
Years passed off, both were old;
Her bee came flying like a dove;
She had two seeds of gold!

Their joy was great and made them cry;
Their seeds would want good soil;
And form their pretty plants on own;
They stayed with none to spoil.

Each flow’r’s destined for just one bee;
Some do not get a spouse;
God plans a happy family
With home, a pleasant house.

But live, we must as per His wish
–An instrument of bliss;
This world is sadly so selfish
–We can afford to miss.

If life be lived as per God’s way,
All things will smoothly pass;
Our heart and soul await His day;
God feeds His sheep, best grass!

Yet, worrying helps no one in life;
Each morn brings on a dawn;
God plans our future despite strife,
Like deer attending fawn!

Our loveliness returns with Christ;
Nothing can make sad one;
But do our duty, we must first,
God gave His only Son!

Fondly dedicated to my better half
Mrs. Mercy Rajam Caroline, for my Retirement day
